Every recipe placed here is well-thought out. There is nothing wrong with spending an extra dollar on an ingredient to make a batch of cookies that will brighten your holiday spirit.
I just purchased three bags of semi sweet chocolate chips at Aldi for only $1.49 a bag. The cashews can be had for around a dollar at the Dollar General.

So roll up your sleeves and get in the kitchen and try a couple of these famous cookie recipes here:
